Bootstrap Type I error rates for the correlation coefficient: An examination of alternate procedures.

This study examines three bootstrap procedures for estimating confidence intervals for the correlation coefficient. Results indicate that all three procedures produce slight inflation of the Type I error rate but that the inflation varies by method. Accordingly, choice of bootstrap procedure is an important consideration when testing hypotheses about correlations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
